i'm sorry, i just think this was a crappy story to win it. a crappy circumstance to get the mayor in jail [[his corruption and other things [[manoogian mansion party) go uninvestigated??). just a crappy situation all around.

Wanna know what would be even crappier??

If they never stuck their nose into KK's business, and never reported on all this... and all the money that they would have continued to siphon off of city contracts, sponge free flights and spa vacations off of millionaires, and continued to spend their foundations money on personal needs, and he continued to be in charge in Detroit... now that would be even crappier.....

Also... FYI... the lawsuit related to the strippers death has yet to go to trial, and Ms. Hilton is still called PARIS....

Gistok, It couldn't have been any more eloquent then that. Nice response.

uh, no, there are two P Hiltons. Paris is the blond rich one and Perez is not. Perez Hilton has a celebrity/gossip site: http://www.perezhilton.com/

Thanks for correcting me on that one vivadetroit... not familiar with that gissip girl...

But there's a world of difference between responsible journalism and gossip journalism...

To paraphrase BlackSoul_X and Jjaba [[2 poles apart on the "reality check" scale).... "Snitching" and "Kvetsching" are not the same....

Reporting on a corrupt mayor, his perjury and the juvenile sleazy sex scandal he created for himself is "tabloid reporting?"

Kilpatrick lied his way into jail, as did his chief of staff. He pleaded guilty. He had to quit his job. And it's not because the media was nosy or racist or any of the other intellectually and morally dishonest criticisms I've seen leveled.
